IMPROVEMENT IN APPARATUS FOR BURNING LIQUID FUEL TO HEAT FURNACES.

Specification forming/part of Letters Patent No. 131,804, dated October1, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

`Be it known that I, WILLIAM G. WREN, of Brooklyn, in the State of NewYork, have invented certain Improvements in Using Liquid Fuel'linCombination With a Forcedv Blast, of Which the following is aspecification:

The nature of my invention consists in using liquid fuel in combinationwith a forced blastliquid hydrocarbon ,to be used in the place of coalfor smelting or other furnaces; also,

` the method and means of applying the same.

of a long, shallow pan, B, with an arch-cover, A, open at both ends. Gisa tank, holding the supply of liquid fuel, having the main pipe Kandthe branch pipes (J 0 C G, to lead from the tank and into the pan ormufile B, with the v stop-cocks D D D D in each pipe G to regulate theflow of material into' the pan or InufL He B. F is a blastpipe, suppliedby blower H, at Fig. 1, With openings or outlets of a number tocorrespond with the number of pans and mufiles -used, ,as shown at Fig.3, or the blow-pipe may be made of the shape shown at Fig. 5.

Having described the separate parts, I will show the application: Iplace the mufde and Vpan A B (or several of them, according to the widthof the furnace) on the grate-bars, with one end projecting beyondandthrough the door, as shown at Figs. 1,2, 3.' I then have a tank, G, atsome convenient place, with the, pipeK leading from it with as manybranches C, controlled by stop-cocks D, asl there are `pans and mufes AB, each of the branches G `just entering the pans B, as shown atFig. 2,

so that the Wind from the blower Will blow right through the mufiie Ainto the furnace.

Having arranged the parts in the manner described, Iiill the tank G Withthe liquid fuel to be used, and run it, by the pipes K and G, into thepan B, light it, and put on the blast by the pipe or pipes F, and drivethe flame and heat into the furnace.

What I claim as my invention is- 1. The combination of the pan B withthe blastpipe, in the manner and for the purpose described. v A

2. The combination of the blast with the tank G, pipe G, and pan B, asdescribed.

3. The combination of the pans B and m ufles A with a number ofbranchfuel-pipes, C, and wind-pipes F, the pipes C G C C arranged to beused separately or together, in the manner described.'

4. The construction of the muffle and pan A B in the manner described,for the purpose set forth.

5. The combination of the pipe K, leading 'from the tank G, with two ormore branches,

C C, each branch G tted with` a cock, D, to be used separatelyalternately, or together, in the manner and for the purpose set forth.

6. The combination of one blow-pipe or more With one pipe, O, or more;one or more mufiles and pans, A B, with a furnace, as described.
